AVERY SAD AFFAIR,
Distressing Death OF u Former promlnen
t Citizen of Wheeling. t1

Distressing Death OF n Former pro,nln ont
Citlzen Of Wheeling.
Yesterday morning at a few minutes
past o'clock Mr.. Lewis Woodmansee,
formerly for long time one OF the propsi.
etors Of tho Grant House, then the lead.
ing hotel In the city, came to his death
under very distressing circumstances, at
his residence jus! west OF Bridgeport.
Mrs. W oodmRnsee had gone down stairs,
leaving her husband in the room. While
sho was below abe heard faint report,
and supposing 1t to be the explosion OF o
fire cracker, made come comment to one
OF her sons. She then returned upstairs,
and found her husband lying on the bed
with bullet hole In his right forehead
over the temple. She acreamed, and her
son, Mr.. Frank Woodmansee, ran upstairs
and lifted his fathers form. The blood
Rushed In stream from the wound.
Doctors Cook aud Fisher, OF Bridgeport,
were at once summoned, but'th wound
ed man remained unconscious, and died
a few moments after the physicians ar
rived.
Tho revolver, Of SO caliher, he'd been oh.
tanned from bureau drawer. Mr.. Wood.
mansee evidently committed euicide while
laboring under mental alteration. For
several days ho has been under treatment
for neuralgia, and his mind was percep.
tibly Affected. 1t is supposed recent bust
ness troubles induced the failure OF his
mind. "
The funeral will probably occur to.mor.
row, and in accordance with wsll.known
wish OF the deceased, he will be buried by
the Knights OF Honor, OF which he waa
en- old and active member.
Mr.. Woodmansoe came to Wheeling In
1864 from st. Clairsvllle, he and his father.
in-law, Mr.. Samuel Lewis, purchasing the
old Monroe House and rechristening 1t
the Grant House. They built an exten.
slve addition, and for years the hotel was
conducted successfully on modern plan.
In March, 1877, it was destroyed by FIRE,
but was run as hotel and boarding house
by the firm and later by Mr.. Woodmanaee,
until little over year ago, whenshe re-
moved to farm Just west OF Bridgeport.
He was 81 years old last November, and
was born near St. CIairsviI!e. For seven
yeara he conducted hotel at Sparta, Wis,
and for few months was connected with
Mr.. Lewis in managing hotel at st.
Clailsyile. 81. 4. .y,
He served in the Union army in the
late war, and was member Of the G. A.
R., as we'll as a Mason, a knight OF Honor
and member Of the National Union
He leaves widow and five sona, al
pretty well grown up. all wero at home
